What's an AGM?
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is when the club approves changes to the constitution, as well as votes in the new committee for the year. It’s a chance for you to have your voice heard as a member, by running or nominating others for committee, or voting. You need to be a member to participate in the AGM, so please sign up if you haven’t already! The link is in

on our Discord, or on our website.
The Committee
During the AGM, we'll have elections for the five executive committee positions and four general committee positions. All the committee positions are available, so feel free to put yourself up for any of them! (Note: Only current University of Melbourne students can hold executive positions.) Here’s a brief description of each of the different committee positions, though keep in mind that everyone should help out with each other’s duties and the general running of the club. For more detailed descriptions of each committee position, please refer to our club constitution attached.
The five executive roles are:
President – The president of the club, generally acting as “the face” of the club and ultimately responsible for ensuring the club continues to function properly.
Vice-President – Covers the president’s role if they’re unavailable.
Secretary – Handles minute taking and other administrative details.
Treasurer – Handles finances of the club and presents reports to club members at the Annual General Meeting.
Publications Officer – Handles event announcements and flyers, creating material for letting members know what we’re up to.
The four general committee roles are:
Librarian – Handles the maintenance and updating of the library that the club keeps, as well as the library website (when you feel like it).
Webmaster – Handles maintenance and updating of the club website.
Art Director – Handles art for club proceedings. This is most important to procure art for membership cards, but additional art is appreciated.
Liaison Officer – Handles communication with sponsors, as well as negotiating new sponsors.
The Nominating
As for the nominations themselves, you're free to nominate anyone, including yourself, provided they accept. You can also be nominated for multiple positions so if you don't quite get one position but are still interested in being part of the committee, you can have another go.
If you would like to nominate yourself for a position but won't be present at the AGM, feel free to send in a proxy nomination to bstevenson1@student.unimelb.edu.au. This should include at bare minimum your name and contact details, and ideally a speech (either a Word document, pdf or if you're the creative sort, audio/video recording) that can be read/played at the AGM for your proxy nomination. Keep it under 2 minutes please!
The Constitution
During the proceedings we'll be presenting our constitution and the treasurer's report. We have no amendments to our constitution this year, but we will have a presentation of the treasurer's report which will show how we've managed our grant money and other budgetary type stuff.
The Summary
- We'll be electing a new committee
- We'll be presenting the constitution and treasurer's report
The club constitution, the AGM agenda and the draft financial report are attached on the Discord and email announcements.
